Here's another clue:
Larry Anthony sent me a copy of a Virginia Historical Magazine article a while ago.It appears to contradict Stella Thompson's theory that Joseph Anthony Sr,was our Rev. Joseph's father, but I'm not totally convinced.Here's part of the article:
-------
"Anthony - Cooper (IX,229) - Permit me to enlarge and slightly correct the publication of Mrs. P.H. Mell, Auburn, Ala., on page 220 of this Magazine for October 1901.
The will and the inventory and administration of the estate of Joseph Anthony, are recorded in the clerk's office of this (Henry) county, VA., in Will book No. 1, beginning on page 120.He was born in Henrico, afterwards Goochland, now Albemarle County, Va., May 2, 1713, Married 27th April, 1741, Elizabeth Clark, as stated, who was born February 15, 1720 and lived on "Lawyer's road" in what is now Franklin County, near Staunton River, and died November 23, 1785.After his death, she, with most of her children and their families, removed to Georgia, as stated by Mrs. Pell, where she lived to be more than a hundred years old.
This Joseph Anthony has sometimes been confounded with a Baptist preacher of the same name, living contemporaneously with him, in this county, and whose will is also recoreded here.I fear that Rev. Samuel Boykin, in his History of Georgia Baptists, has fallen into thie error.The Joseph of the text was a Quaker.Joseph Anthony, the Quaker, by his will, makes ample provisions for his widow, and then proceed to devise and bequeath his large landed estate, his numerous negro slaves, and his personal property, among his fourteen surviving children, his son Charles Anthony having died unmarried and without issue.These children were:
(lists the 15 children including "Joseph Anthony, Jr. born 28th March 1750, married Elizabeth Clark (?) and moved to Georgia.")
My wife is the great grand daughter of Captain Thomas Cooper and Sarah (Anthony) his wife, and the facts here stated have been mainly gathered from family Bibles preserved in her family."
C.B. Bryant, Martinsville, Va., November 5, 1901
